Chapter 708 doesn't have many options
There really was a day when Chen Zilong really didn't know how to deal with it, and the sky was definitely falling. From his personal point of view, he must raise a righteous soldier and not ask for a subordinate, and he will have to die with Chen Xie to the end after scattering his family wealth. There's not much to say about this, because it's a class position. The problem is that if Chen Xie does this now, not to mention far away, take the gentry in Jiangnan as an example, who will be the second Chen Zilong, and if you want to find out, it is estimated that one hand is enough.
Why? Chen Zilong has an answer to this question, which of today's Jiangnan gentry did not follow Chen Xie to get rich. Spices, copper, all kinds of precious stones, and a large amount of wealth from the South Seas and India were transported back to the Ming Dynasty by fleet. Cutting off people's money and killing their parents, these gentry and wealthy businessmen in Jiangnan are really capable of doing all kinds of things you can't think of. That's all there is to it, where do so many local companies in Daming come from? It was the landlord who dug up the silver buried in the cellar of his family, and there were so many enterprises.
Against Chen Xie? To whom is the creation sold? This is not only a matter of the gentry and wealthy merchants, the nobles and officials in the city of Nanjing, who do not have a fleet to go to sea to make a fortune. The officials of the Beijing Division, large and small, did not make a lot of money because of Chen Xie's overseas expansion. If others want to rebel, the whole world may condemn it. If Chen Xie wants to rebel and claim the emperor, half of the Ming Dynasty can pass on the news, and there is no need to fight, it is a matter of raising a banner.
This consequence was really terrible, once the sword soldiers rose again, Chen Zilong felt chills all over his body when he thought about it.
"Cabinet Department! Know that you are not such a person. Chen Zilong found a non-nutritious word to deal with.
Chen Xie shook his head with a wry smile and said: "I'm not interested in the dragon chair, what I care about is the fate and future of the entire Chinese nation." Forget it, don't mention this, help draft a letter. Sent them away. I'm too lazy to compete with them, and I can't finish too much. β
To put it bluntly, Chen Xie has one meaning, the literati of the Ming Dynasty are not qualified to talk about vertical arch rule. In other words, what they say about vertical arch rule is not the same thing as Chen Xie's understanding. Chen Zilong is not an ordinary person, and he quickly eased up. He asked persistently: "How can the cabinet be ruled by vertical arches?" β
Chen Xie was surprised, this guy was not frightened, and smiled: "System, constitutional monarchy." He turned away. He took out a white paper from the bookshelf and threw it to him, saying, "Take it and read it, it's all my idea." β
Chen Zilong took it as if he had received the treasure, and immediately stood up with this thing in his hand and said: "Cabinet, don't worry about replying to the letter, wait for Zilong to see this." Chen Xie waved his hand. Didn't speak again.
Chen Zilong returned to his residence and couldn't wait to start reading, this white paper appeared in the form of a manuscript, and it was very tall when he looked at it. Chen Zilong, who was hungry and thirsty, didn't know that Chen Xie had actually dug a pit and waited for his class to consciously jump in. Opening the first page, Chen Zilong saw a preface. "Since Qin Yi has been unified. The Chinese empire in the previous year had ups and downs, and dynasties changed. The people of the rise and fall are bitter ....... β
The more knowledgeable people are, the easier it is to be fooled by Chen Xie's holding high the banner of righteousness. Chinese believe in the mandate of heaven, well, Chen Xie came up and said the mandate of heaven. How can we not lose our destiny? History has proven that even with the blessing of our ancestors, it is difficult to escape the fate of changing the dynasty. Destiny becomes someone else's. Why?
Is it the monarch's fault? The answer is no, it has nothing to do with the monarch. This system is also the reason for this. Because of the current system, there is no guarantee that every monarch will be a saint. Even if there is a temporary destiny, it will not last long. Putting the fate of the country in one hand and pinning the hope that the Holy Monarch will be in power is a move against the mandate of heaven. God gave the monarch the mandate of heaven, not to let him do whatever he wanted, but to let him lead the people of the world to live a good life. Even if the Son of Heaven is ordained by Heaven, he is a mortal fetus*. If you are a human being, you will have a time when your energy is low, and if you are a human being, you will make mistakes.
The process of governing a country is a process of making as few mistakes as possible. The Son of Heaven is only one person, and what he can do is also limited, so what God wants the Son of Heaven to do is not to bow down to everything himself, and he has great power. Instead, the Son of Heaven will control the direction of the country's development, and the specific matters will be shared by the courtiers. The Son of Heaven has the Mandate of Heaven to protect himself, so what about the courtiers? What does the tong guΓ² guarantee the rights of the courtiers? The answer is simple, system! This system is called the constitutional monarchy, and the premise of this system is the separation of powers. After the preface, Chen Xie began to talk about it one by one, not talking about any nonsense about democracy and freedom, this thing is not applicable in the Ming Dynasty. Or continue to talk about the mandate of heaven and the people, God wants the monarch to ensure the interests of the people, otherwise it will be immoral and the like.
After sending Chen Zilong away, Chen Xie fell into hard thinking again in the study, and the current Daming was obviously too slow. Chen Xie didn't have much time to spend with these monarchs and ministers. There are only three paths in front of him, one is to let Daming slowly embark on the principle of constitutional monarchy, and he will go overseas to expand. The other is very simple, taking tough measures, first putting down overseas expansion, and figuring out the internal system construction of the Ming Dynasty. The third path is relatively simple, Chen Xie established a country overseas and became the emperor, and let the Ming Dynasty toss it himself.
In fact, Chen Xie is not satisfied with these three paths, and hopes to find a compromise solution. Looking at Chen Zilong's expression now, Chen Xie feels that it is still possible. It is to tie the civil official group of the Ming Dynasty to its own chariot, build the basic framework of the constitutional monarchy in a short period of time, and let the Ming slowly supplement the rest. The advantage of this is that Chen Xie can concentrate on expanding overseas without worrying about the internal disputes in the Ming Dynasty.
Chen Xie, who was on the way to the backyard, was still irritable and could not calm down. The monarchs and ministers of the Ming Dynasty have never been calm in the struggle for power. No matter which side has the upper hand, he will not be soft on the other side, for fear of giving the opponent a chance to resurrect. Every emperor will desperately defend the rights of the emperor, even Zhu Youzhen, who has experienced the chaos of almost losing the country, is no exception. After a certain amount of Cheng dΓΉ's compromise, he still left a lot of tricks for his son.
As long as it is a human being, it will be selfish, which Chen Xie fully understands. The problem is that history has proven that there is no way out of the centralized monarchy system. Again, you can't guarantee that none of the emperors are Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Di. Even if these two emperors are strong in their internal control, they still have many, many shortcomings.
Looking up in the distance, there was rain between the sky and the earth, and there was no wind quietly. The humid, sultry rainy season makes people bored and have the urge to vent. At this time, I found that I had walked into the courtyard of the orchid, and simply stepped in, and the maid guarding the door saw him coming, and immediately turned sideways to salute Wanfu, and reached out to take the umbrella in Chen Xie's hand, but was blocked by raising his hand and said: "How tall are you, you may not be able to make this umbrella with your feet, lead the way ahead." β
Orchid's residence is covered with wooden floors, which is prepared for Chen Xie, and every time she comes, she has to watch her dance, naturally dancing barefoot on the wooden floor. After changing his shoes in front of the door, Chen Xie stepped in, and there was not only one orchid coming out from behind the screen, but also Ava. How did these two get together, Chen Xie didn't think much about it, sat down on the sofa, and said with a tired look: "No courtesy." β
The two got up after saying a blessing, exchanging glances with each other, Hu Ji went to the door, told the maid to go out and don't mention the door, turned around and stood behind Chen Xie, his head resting on the two extremely elastic softness, his fingertips pressed moderately on the temples, the fragrant wind diffused from behind, and the fatigue and boredom seemed to be better.
The drums sounded, and when I opened my eyes, I saw that it was Ava, veiled, twisting her fair and thin waist, swaying to the rhythm. It turned out that this woman came to learn to dance, but in order to please Chen Xie, she tried her best. Now the honor and disgrace of the Nadim family are one with Chen Xie, and whether they can be liked in Chen Xie is very important to the father and daughter. Not to mention the news of the shadows, Nadim has a favorite Indian slave girl in Xinghai City and gave him a son. Hide and tuck, and people don't know.
According to the habits of the Ming Dynasty, every qiΔ in the backyard is Chen Xie's, although Chen Xie doesn't think so, but it doesn't mean that others don't think so. The more you know about the customs of the Ming Dynasty, the more you will not go to people's backyards. Those who can enter the backyard are close relatives.
Ava dances very hard, watching the beginners practice, compared to the dancing of the orchid, the eyes are expressive, and the soul is seducing. However, this woman has a good capital, with a long skirt on the lower body and a belly pocket on the upper body. When dancing, the body is like a snake, the eyes are full of spring, and the fierce place is the rabbit leaping on the chest. Coupled with a pair of good long legs, the skirt floats up when it turns, and the skirt is empty and vaguely private.
This scene is about to be seen by Zhou and Ye Ernu, and she will definitely tear her face, break her legs and feet and throw them into the pigsty. is so immoral and shameless. It's already shameless to prostitute in the daytime, and you still do such things. Speaking of which, Zhou and Ye were also forcibly pushed during the day, and if they refused, they covered their faces with skirts and handkerchiefs to show embarrassment. As for the night, it was a general effort of flattery.
Ava didn't care about this or that, without Chen Xie's favor, Dad was thrown into the sea to feed the fish. A demon girl or something, where is it more important than the love of the lord? Seeing that Chen Xie's breathing was gradually getting heavier, Hu Ji stopped what he was doing, closed the door, and came back to see that the master was still staring, kneeling skillfully in front of him, and his cherry lips were opened, burying his head in his mouth.
The music came to an abrupt end, and the musician's interest vanished. Ava stopped dancing and stepped forward, bowed her head and kissed, and moved under her skirt with one hand, so as not to wait for pain. The rain outside the courtyard was still endless, and the maid who guarded the door stood against the pillar, and lost her strength when she heard the sound. (To be continued)
